Thus the cover is of Our Lady of Fatima, with her Immaculate Heart,
wearing a white and gold mantle as she swoops down to earth from heaven
to take the two friends to heaven, form Paul II and Sr. Lucia are upon
the earth seen from outer space.

The Pope raises the Eucharistic Christ aloft since Fatima is centered
on ]esus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Sr.Lucia falls to her knees
adoring our Eucharistic Lord for her life was one of prayer and
sacrifice. Our Blessed Mother, the "beautiful Lady from heaven," throws
her golden mantle over these two friends to carry them off to heaven.
That book cover was used also for the cover of this issue of the
Messenger.

With the death of Sr. Lucia on February 13, 2005, and the resulting
increased explosive interest in Fatima throughout the world, followed
soon by the death of Pope John Paul II, the special Fatima Pope, need
was seen for still another book on Fatima by the priest who was first
called "the Fatima priest."

There was a special spiritual bond between Sr. Lucia and Pope John Paul
II. With many Fatima developments and fulfillments of prophecies in
recent years many need this latest book on Fatima. This time the book
on Fatima is titled, Fatima
Is Forever.

Fatima is Forever will cover Fatima from the beginning, its
developments through the years, its effects on the world today and for
the future; the consecration by bishops requested by Our Lady, the
release of the Third Part of the Fatima Secret and the beatifications
of Blessed Jacinta and blessed Francisco; the spiritual bonding between
Sr. Lucia and Pope John Paul II.

Also included in this book are world reactions to the deaths of Sr.
Lucia and Pope John Paul II. Sr. Lucia's permanent resting place near
Blessed Jacinta and Blessed Francisco after the transferal of her body,
February 19, 2006, from Coimbra Carmel to Fatima Basilica is included.
The book summarizes the biography by Sr. Lucia's own Carmelites as
required by their Carmelite Constitution for a deceased Sister.

It was my privilege on the eve of May 2007 to spend two and one-half
hours with the personal doctor of Sister Lucia of Fatima. This woman
doctor who is now 57 years old came here to the Shrine of the Most
Blessed Sacrament, Hanceville, Alabama where I offer Mass daily in the
lower church. Branca Paul M.D. was Sister Lucia?s personal doctor the
last 15 years of Lucia?s life and was with her when she died. Branco
Paul M.D. shared special and precious pictures with me concerning
informal moments with Sister Lucia. This woman doctor had gone to the
Castle Store here at the Shrine [
Our Lady of the Angels Monaster] and discovered my book, FATIMA
IS
FOREVER. She was delighted to find in the book one of the
pictures she had taken of Sister Lucia venerating the image of the
Immaculate Heart of Mary.

It was especially interesting to hear Branca Paul M.D. talk about
papers of Sister Lucia discovered after her death,
including Sister

Lucia's personal diary in which she reveals the seventh apparition of
Our Lady of Fatima, something not known
previously. It was known that
at the May apparition [just 90 years ago as I enter this blog] that our
Blessed Mother said: "I came to ask you to come here for six successive
months, on the 13th day at the same hour. Later I will tell what I
want. And I will return here yet a seventh time."

There has long been speculation about about what, when, if, that
seventh apparition took place. Sister Lucia's Diary opened by others -
after her death - clears it up, according to her personal doctor. I
will write what that Diary revealed in a future issue of my magazine.

I was delighted that after our dinner and interview together, which was
filmed, that Branca Paul M.D. came to my home to receive a personal
autographed copy of my recent book, FATIMA IS FOREVER, concerning lives
and deaths of the two friends, Pope John Paul II and Sister Lucia. The
doctor wanted a picture of my presenting her an autographed copy of my
book, FATIMA IS FOREVER, - by the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima and the
three little shepherds which is front of my home here in Alabama -
which is near the Mother Angelica's Monastery of Our Lady of the Angels
and Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament.

THE INTERVIEW WITH SISTER LUCIA'S DOCTOR and many pictures given by the
doctor - was in the July 2007 issue of the IMMACULATE HEART
MESSENGER which will be out later part of June. This 90th year
celebrations of the Fatima events will also contain in my magazine a
future article by a Scientist who has studied the miracle of the sun at
Fatima through witnesses for past 40 years or more. You can click into
information on obtaining the magazine at the top of this page. Thank
you. Father Robert J. Fox
